It’s in the post: https://explainxkcd.com/3064/

Thanks, I missed that the link was in the post.

And it’s quite funny if you happen to have some programming background. If not, you tell me.

I am a software developer, and I just didn't get the joke at all, even after reading the explanation...

The comic relates this to a common issue when editing documents or coding, where the author accidentally makes changes to two separately created versions of documents, when they meant to only edit one, which can result in changes to both (or all) resulting documents functionally essential parts of the completed project

Honestly not trying to be pedantic, joke just flew over my head I guess. 🤷‍♂️
